Joshua 11:10-11

The Northern Coalition Defeated and the Land Brought Under Joshua’s Control

The northern kings gather against Israel, the LORD commands Joshua not to fear, Israel defeats the coalition, Hazor is burned, and the chapter summarizes Joshua’s broad conquest and the land’s rest from war.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

10At that time Joshua turned back and captured Hazor and put its king to the sword, because Hazor was formerly the head of all these kingdoms.

11The Israelites put everyone in Hazor to the sword, devoting them to destruction. Nothing that breathed remained, and Joshua burned down Hazor itself.
